leaking clear fluid

Two nights ago, around midnight, I was laying down on the couch and got up to go upstairs. As soon as I got up the stairs I noticed that I had this clear whitish fluid running down both my legs. It was quite a bit but nothing like what I hear it is when your water breaks. I thought maybe it was pee, but I actually emptied my bladder after that then sat on my bed for a few minutes. When I got up again I noticed that there was more wet on the bed where I had been sitting. I decided not to go to l&d because it was so late and after laying down for a while it stopped. Baby was moving and I also happened to have a ob appointment the next morning. The next morning I went to my dr and she used a strip to use to tell if it was amniotic fluid or not. I actually wasn't leaking then and the strip came back that there was no sign of amniotic fluid. She then told me it was probably discharge (of which has never been like this before) and that if it were fluid it wouldn't just stop like it had. That whole next day after that night and the whole day after that were fine, but now it's night again (today) and it happened again! Same situation except that I had already went upstairs, emptied my bladder, and as I was coming down the stairs it happened again and soaked my underwear. I'm not in any pain but the last few days I've had this full achy feeling right in my crotch area (girls at work say that's normal around my time - I'm 29 weeks)Anyone else have this or a similar issue? Any reason why or what your dr told you? Should I be worried if she had already tested me with that strip the day after it happened? Sorry so long!! Just kind of worried

I had almost the same thing happen to me, but it was clear! After talking to my dr over the phone, we decided it was just my LO pushing on my bladder when I sit, so when I stand it release a lil pee! Glad you got it check out, I kinda wish my dr would have told me to come in so she could just check you know! I go see her on the 2nd so hopefully she will check everything! Are you having any pain?

Mine was mostly clear actually I just thought I saw a little bit of a white in it also, I'm not in any pain and the baby is just kicking around as always! I'm hoping its just some weird discharge but I've never had discharge quite like that before!

That was happening to me too and my doctor actually gave me some antibiotics it's not an std but a common infection in pregnant women she said. I thought my water broke a little but she gave me my medicine and I havent leaked clear fluid again

My doctor told me that if it IS indeed amniotic fluid...contractions will inevitably begin. Whenever I have something like this I always take comfort in knowing I don't have any bleeding or contractions so all is good. I will say that with my other two pregnancies...when they broke my water that was when the contractions started rolling in.

There was a post a few days ago by someone saying you can use the aquarium strips that check for ph levels in the water. Want to say if it was a 7-8 it's amino fluid. You should try to find that post. GL!

I had small amounts of fluid leaking for days, and a big gush this morning. Had u/s in ER and showed dangerously low aminiotic fluid levels and baby had to be delivered c-section. Have dr do an u/s bc if levels get low baby can be majorly affected!!! I was lucky, baby girl doing good although tiny. Less than 3 lbs but came out crying and kicking!
